Shani Mantra: Suryaputhro Deerghadeho Vishaalaakshaha Shivapriyaha| Mandachaaraha Prasannathma Peedam Harathu Me Shanihi||
This temple is dedicated to Lord Shani Deva. Temple is located at a place called “Chikka Madhure”14 km away from “Nelamangala” on Nelamangala to Doddaballapur Road. Shani is one of the nine (Navagraha) planets according to the Hindu Astrological system. On Saturday, Shani is offered special poojas to get rid of the bad effects of “Sade sathi / Ashtama Shani / Panchama Shani”.
In the temple premises we can see lot of people offering “Ellu Batti” to the fireplace right in front of the temple. Ellu Batti is a kannada (local language of Karnataka) word that means black sesame seeds are put into small pieces of cloth and are tied with black thread and this is dipped in Gingelly oil (Sesame oil).
